A PRACTICAL COMMITTEE RESOURCE
Compare the whole website service, not just the headline price.
A bowls club website can be a simple public presence or a connected club system with a Members Zone, rink booking, team information and volunteer tools. The right choice depends on what your club needs to make easier—not how many features can be placed on a sales page.
What should the basic website include?
At minimum, prospective members should be able to understand who the club is, where it is, what happens there, how beginners can try bowls and how to get in touch. Members should be able to find fixtures, events, contact details and current club information easily on a phone.
When do extra tools make sense?
A Members Zone is useful for documents, notices, team sheets and internal information. Rink booking can help clubs with multiple rinks or busy sessions. Member registration and contact tools can reduce repetitive administration. These features should follow your club’s rules and volunteer capacity, rather than adding complexity for its own sake.
What should you ask a provider?
Ask what the set-up fee includes, what the annual fee covers, who owns the content, how domain and email changes are handled, how volunteers update the site, whether your information can be exported, and what support is available after launch. A low starting price can become expensive if essential tools, updates or support are charged separately.
How Bowls Club Digital prices its packages
Bowls Club Digital keeps the main packages straightforward: a public website is £200 set-up and £150 per year; a website with Members Zone and rink booking is £200 set-up and £200 per year; and the complete club system is £200 set-up and £250 per year. The exact pages and tools are agreed around the club’s needs before work begins.
| Package | Set-up | Annual fee | First year | Three years |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Website | £200 | £150 | £350 | £650 |
| Club Hub | £200 | £200 | £400 | £800 |
| Complete | £200 | £250 | £450 | £950 |
First-year totals combine the set-up fee and one annual fee. Three-year totals combine the set-up fee and three annual fees. Optional work outside the chosen package is discussed and agreed before it begins.
Why BCD is easier for a committee to budget for
Bowls Club Digital builds the public website and can add the Members Zone, rink booking and club-management tools within the same service. That gives the committee one clear package, one support route and fewer separate subscriptions or suppliers to assess. BCD starts with the website that represents your club, then adds only the tools your members and volunteers will genuinely use.
What should an international club compare?
BCD publishes standard prices in GBP and works with clubs worldwide. If your club pays from another country, compare written totals on the same date and confirm the payment currency, any conversion charge from your bank or payment provider, the local season you want the website ready for, and exactly which support and updates are included.
CHECKLIST QUESTIONS
A useful place to start.
Who is the free bowls club website checklist for? +
It is for bowls-club committees and volunteers who want a quick way to review whether their current website is helping local people find, understand and contact the club.
Do we need to replace our whole website? +
Not necessarily. The checklist helps you identify the information or journeys that need attention first. Some clubs may only need clearer content, while others may benefit from a more complete rebuild or member tools.
What should a bowls club website make easy? +
At minimum, people should be able to see that beginners are welcome, understand what the club offers, find practical information on a phone and take a clear next step to enquire, visit or join.
Can we start with a public website and add more later? +
Yes. A club can start with a clear public website, then add a Members Zone, rink booking or practical administration tools when the committee is ready.
